My god what a reflection -which way is up? Great job cropping, I like the way you left more FG in the shot.

David,
I kind of figured the up - down. Yea the stick is a bit of a problem but really doesn't take anything away from this great shot. I might increase the hue/saturation on the saturation side a little more to pull more colour in to the photo. Or try lab color (soft light lab B about 90%).

Gary,
FWIW, you just inspired me to order Dan Margulis' book, Photoshop LAB Color, because try as I might I don't understand your recommendation :) It's good--I've been meaning to learn about LAB for a while but finally have a motivation that pushed me off of the fence.
I've worked on the image a touch and removed the offending reflected stick and bumped the saturation globally by 12% which may be a bit too much.
David,
Very, very graphic almost to the point of sensory overload. The stick reflection mimics the stick above water on the upper right. I like the saturation.

That is super! I signed up for Scott Kelby's online course. He has a great section on lab colour. What stick?
